You can bet on whether or not Eli Manning will cry at his retirement presser

You can bet on anything these days it seems. The Super Bowl is coming up and it won’t be the only event the public will be betting on.

There is action on Eli Manning’s retirement press conference Friday in the form of prop bets. Here’a a few courtesy of BetOnline.ag:

Who Will Eli Thank 1st at Press Conference?
Giants Organization/Owner 2/3
City of New York 3/2
Fans 2/1
Family 5/1

Will Eli Manning Cry during Press Conference?
Yes EVEN (1/1)
No -140 (5/70)

Who will Eli Mention 1st at Press Conference?
Archie Manning/Dad -200 (1/2)
Peyton Manning/Brother +150 (3/2)

Will Eli Mention Daniel Jones?
Yes -250 (2/5)
No +170 (17/10)

We know it’s a bit silly, but which way would you bet on these?

For the first one, I’d say it’s a toss up. He loves the fans, the city and his family, but if it’s a prepared speech, odds are he thanks the Giants first.

I can see him shedding a tear. I can see a lot of others shedding tears, too.

No question, he thanks Archie before Peyton.

And….he’s going to address the future of the Giants and that will include Jones.
